GLOBE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,436, dated May 23, 1882,

Applicationfiled April 8, 188;. (Model) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. KINNEY, of Meriden, in the county of New Haven, and in the State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe- Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference beiu g had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in shade-holders for lamps, and it has for its objects to dispense withthe supportingring usually employed to sustain the shade, and so construct the arms attached to the burner-ring as to support the shade directly and hold it when said burner-ring is thrown back on its hinges, and also to provide an improved attachment for the arms to the burnerring, as more fully hereinafterspecified. These objects I attain by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective View of my improvements, and Fig. 2 sectional view of the same with the burner-rin g turned back.

The letter A indicates the burner-ring, which may be of any approved construction, but which is preferably formed with struck-up seats B, in which the arms are secured.

The letterC indicates the arms, three in number, as usual, which extend radially and upwardly from the burner-ring. The said arms, at their lower-ends, are bent, as indicated by the letter D, so as to set into the seats in the ring from the inside thereof, being secured therein by means of solder or otherwise, forming a strong and secure connection. Two of the arms are bent so as to form U-shaped seats for the lower edge of the shade, the third arm, at its extremity, being bent inward and downward, as indicated by the letter E, then horizoutally, as indicated by the letter F, and then vertically and laterally, as indicated by the letter G, as shown in Fig. 1, forming a seat, H, for the edge of the shade, and a lip, I, which oversets the shoulder on the inside above the vertical edge of the shade, so as to hold the shade to its seats when the burner-ring is swung back on its hinge.

It will be perceived that the shade-holder as constructed may be cheaply made in such manner as to secure the shade and hold it when the burner-ring is turned back on its hinge, and at the same time permit it to be readily removed when required, and that it is applicable to that class of shades having a narrow vertical edge and a lateral shoulder immediately above, as well as to other classes of shades.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s a 1. In combination with the lamp-ring provided with struck-up fluted horizontal seats at equidistant points, the arms provided with horizontal bent ends, adapted to set into the seats from the inside, extending horizontally to the periphery of the ring and secured in the seats, substantially as specified.

2. In combination with the burner-ring, the arms provided with U-shaped seats at their ends, and the arm provided with a series of bends, forming a lip,rE, to engage the inside of the shade, and a seat, F, for the lower edge thereof, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 31st day of March, 1882.

CHAS. A. KINNEY.
